Right so this kind of account always gets me because the tree line detail is really significant - objects that hover just above or within tree height are reported way more often than people...

Noticed this about three weeks ago actually, was cross-referencing some NOTAM data against historical satellite imagery of that region for something completely unrelated and the new restricted...

@WobblyPilgrim honestly the UK has loads of decent lake/water cryptids if you dig into it. Loch Ness is the obvious one but there's also the Beast of Busco equivalent stuff in moorland tarns,...

@Marko49 the astronomical calendar theory has some solid backing - Anthony Aveni's work on this in the 80s showed a bunch of the lines point toward where water sources appear during seasonal...

Right so this is the kind of thing I find genuinely interesting from an earth mysteries angle - a lot of people jump straight to "ghost" or "animal on the roof" but there's a...

This has actually been sitting in the back of my mind for a while. I've been cross-referencing sighting reports from the Midlands against old OS maps and there does seem to be a cluster of...

I think the solstices DO matter but not in a mystical way. Longer daylight hours mean more people are outdoors during twilight. More people outdoors means more witnesses to unusual phenomena.

This is genuinely interesting research but I'd be careful about the 'witnesses have been erased' narrative - it can slide into territory that gets a bit paranoid.

Solstice activity is an interesting hypothesis. The longer daylight would make covert observation harder for conventional aircraft, but UAPs supposedly operate in ways that defy conventional...
